Losers by day; ghost hunters by night. From the garage of his unapproving mother's home, Ken Livingston leads a team of supernatural investigators in a search for truth, justice and poltergeists. In each episode, our heroes confront paraabnormalities that no other team would dare - busting ghosts caught on sex tapes, braving motel rooms that kill (and have no cable or turndown service), and seducing succubi. They are not normal... they are ParaAbnormal.

Trial of Leaves is an ongoing YouTube series set within The Slender Man Mythos. Having started at the beginning of 2013, this series continually chronicles the lives of three young survivalists and their struggles to protect those they care about.

Not letting that bother them, they decide to keep entertaining us, and ignoring it. Once they decide to gather their weapons and fight back they get beaten. Badly. What follows is nothing less than the crushing of man in every way... emotionally, spiritually, physically, and of course, mentally. At this time they discover a world parallel to our own, and under the jurisdiction of their stalkers. This Path of Blackened Leaves becomes both a haven and a hell for the protagonists, as their true Trial begins. From here on in, a tale of Cosmic Horror with just a sliver of hope that they can break free without losing all...
